City Spirits awaken.

So! City Spirts are basically God's sustained by the people in their Cities. Some are Gods born from the belief and people of a City, others are God's who Bind themselves to Cities to sustain themselves in periods of low worship.

Almost all Major Population Centers have some kind of City Spirit bound to them.

The Personification of Los Angeles who slept with Constantine was born from her City, but she was young and weak compared to other City Spirits.

Lady Gotham is an Ancient Spirit who holds immense Power, but purposefully bound herself to the new and growing city of Gotham so she could sleep for a few millenia without worrying about sustaining Worship. She has been asleep for Centuries.

Actually, most City Spirits are Asleep.

Millenia Ago, the most powerful Gods and Spirits of the Infinite Realms fled the Rule of Pariah Dark. They didn't agree with his ambitions to conquer the Living Realm, and didn't want to let him use their Power against the Living Realm either.

So they Bound themselves to newly forming Cities and put themselves into Deep Sleep to avoid his Control. They have been asleep for Millenia now, waiting for the day Pariah would be overthrown so they could return to the Infinite Realms safely.

Then they day came. A New King was Crowned.

And the Cities began to wake up.

"Why didn't you invite me?" Jamil doesn't think their answer is any good.

Cody is the type of guy to adopt an old, scraggly looking cat. He isn't going to, but then he hears someone in his building is moving, and they can't keep their cat, so either someone takes it or they get rid of it. And Cody reluctantly gets pressured into taking it.

And at first they're roommates, sometimes he talks to it like it's a person. "Ripley, where is my phone? C'mon old girl, you saw me with it."

But then the cat gets used to him, and suddenly, he sits at night watching TV with this cat sitting on the arm of the chair next to him. "You see that? Unrealistic. You'd have to stick the knife deeper for it to bleed that much." "Meow."

But then, one random night, he's had a bad day. He's frustrated and annoyed at everyone and everything. He's sitting with his feet up on the table in front of him, and he's scowling. Then these little paws start stepping across his abdomen, and he stares down at the cat in bewilderment as it curls up on his abdomen and falls asleep. He gives her a little scratch behind the ear, and she purrs rather loudly.

After that, it becomes a nightly tradition.

Eventually, she gets out of his apartment and finds her way to a kind stranger and befriends him. When this kind stranger brings her back, Cody and this kind, friendly, and rather handsome stranger start getting along. A couple of months later, Obi-Wan wakes up in Cody's bed to see Ripley, the little old lady, sitting on his chest staring him down.

Got a kofi to draw what I want so I decided to do a comic! I always really loved this scene from Nona the Ninth for some reason (I love Wake) and so here’s an interpretation of it. I challenged myself to only take the same time on it as I would a single page kofi (tho I still went over a bit) so it’s more painterly than usual, but it was a cool thing to try and do :>

I love this recurring theme that wherever Crosshair goes, he is doomed to connect emotionally to someone and make friends even though he hates everyone. He is gonna be surrounded by people who love him and you bet your ass he is going to complain about it.

Commander Lady Cousland, of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden, and her loyal mabari, at the coasts of Highever with the castle on the background.

Finished is better than perfect, so here we are. I hope you guys like it! The castle is based on Il castello di Bentheim by Jacob Van Ruisdael.

THE TERROR (2018) S01E05 "First Shot a Winner, Lads"

And who is going to stop you? You use the wind to carry you here. You use the forest to hide inside. You use all this and don't even want to be here. You don't want to live. Look at you. Even if I could help, you don't want it. Why do you want to die?

As someone who is genderfae (microlabel under genderfluid), I have a lot of different experiences with gender.

I just wish someone told me sooner that it won't go like "today I'm a girl" "today I'm an enby" but more like ,,, "today I am a swamp witch" "today I am a feminine victorian vampire boy" "today I am a forest goblin collecting people's stares about my gender expression like shiny rocks on the ground" "today I'm an androgynous pirate lady"

Like,,, sure, are those real genders? I don't fucking now. If a cisgender person asked me what I identify as that day, would I answer like that? No, definitely not.

But to my genderqueer, trans and genderfluid friends; do you get me? I can't be alone with this, right?

Aqua traya

it takes a special type of poison to kill a Jedi

slow-acting, with a cumulative effect over multiple doses such that the warning from the Force about any single dose is easily missed

no one was quite sure what was causing a series of nat-born officers to sicken and die without any of the traditional signs of contagion

and then it started to effect some of the Jedi too, and no one was sure what was happening

and then the Chancellor died, and the war quickly fell apart, leaving the Jedi and Judicial investigators with much more pressingt problems to address

years later it came to light that a disillusioned clone sergeant by the name of Slick had made a deal with Asajj Ventress to buy the recipe of an old Sith poison, and had been selling the product to clones serving under ill-suited or prejudiced officers, which had eventually included one Commander Fox of the Coruscant Guard who had made his case to the sergeant personally

Prompts time! Had a couple requests for Lady Sybil! And then I added Vimes! And then it got rather romantic <3

I like to think this is just after they get back home, after some sort of official to-do (I imagine the helmet with plumes and the wig are discarded somewhere in a corner XD)

@stuffbyshelby2 and @koncussionkat, thanks for the Sybil prompts!

Aziraphale and blasphemy

You know what I find hilarious? When Aziraphale and Crowley see God talking to Job we have this little exchange:

Aziraphale: "Oh, my God." Crowley (not yet seeing what is happening): "Blasphemy, angel? That's not like... you.". Aziraphale (pointing out literal God): "No look! Oh... My God!"

From this conversation we can conclude that both Aziraphale and Crowley consider it blasphemy to "use the Lord's name in vain" (the 3rd commandment).

Well, but you know when Aziraphale does it again? And this time for real? That's right! Paris ⬇️

Which leads us to Aziraphale's perfectly sensible list of reasons to break God's commandments:

Doing the right thing (which includes debating complicated moral questions to justify the decision and then still beating himself up about it afterwards)

Crowley in that outfit

And I love that!

A more complicated way to determine your Blood of Eden name:

a reference to any classical work (painting, play, hymn, etc.)

a lyric of your choice from your country's national anthem

a lyric from your favorite song

(I call it complicated because I personally hate making decisions)

Currently I'm at: If Music be the Food of Love Play On At the Twilight's Last Gleaming We're Leaving the Planet and You Can't Come

Nickname: Muse

But I've been bouncing between Shakespeare quotes (I'm a theatre kid) and song lyrics for an hour--
